Many of us have accurate loads for our rifles, but as we don't have YOUR rifle we don't have an accurate load for it. Mass produced rifles all have a range of acceptable tolerances, and so are all different. Pickup your favorite reloading book and start at the starting load, it will be no better and no worse than anything else. Good marksmanship and loading are learned, not told.

Don't hijack others threads, it's not polite.
Unless you want to duplicate the velocity, you cannot duplicate the load. Factory ammo doesn't use canister grade powder(Nosler being the only exception), which is what you can buy. They also don't load powder by weight. If someone tells you otherwise, don't take load advice from that person.
